'''Infectious Mononucleosis''' (also known as the ''kissing disease'') is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV). Most symptoms of mono are not noticeable in children but can be seen when older. The EBV virus is very common and can be passed around very easily. There is no medicinal cure for the disease, and once contacted the virus will be carried for life. Having mono is somewhat like the [[flu]], sharing some of the same symptoms. | '''Infectious Mononucleosis''' (also known as the ''kissing disease'') is caused by the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV).
